Benefits of technology

[0003]The objection of the utility model is to provide a magic rollator which has simple structure, small volume after folded, stands stably and is easy to be manufactured.
[0011]Two ends of the seat body connect respectively with the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe of the folding mechanism. By folding the seat body in the middle, it drives the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe which hinge joint together to be closed. Then the bushings of the main support frame on both sides also close to the middle along with other components, and then it is folded. Since close the rollator symmetrically, the center of gravity of the rollator is stable and the volume is also small, so it is easy to be collected and transported. If open it, press the seat body, make the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe which hinge joint together to be open, it drives the corresponding bushings of main support frame to spread forward two sides, then spread the magic rollator.
[0012]As a preferred embodiment, one end of a first joint piece and a second joint piece hinge joint with said first branch pipe and the second branch pipe respectively, the other end of the first joint piece hinges joint with the right side of main support frame, the other end of the second joint piece hinges joint with the left side of main support frame. So that it can make the free ends of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe hinge joint with the corresponding main support frame by joint pieces. The stability of the folding mechanism is improved, and the structure of the rollator is firmer when it is spread.
[0016]Said main support frame has a supporting main body with a shouldered hole, in which there sets a hollow fitting axle, one end of which is fixed in the supporting main body by an active buckle fitting, the other end of said fitting axle is connected to said front-wheel assembly. Said active buckle fitting consists of a button with splaying stop block mounted in said shouldered hole and the U-shaped snap spring with protruding member mounted in the hollow fitting axle, a block groove which is blocked into by the playing stop block is set on the supporting main body, the bottom of button connects with the top of the snap spring, said fitting axle has a long aperture, the protruding member of snap spring can be embed in the long aperture and extend into said shouldered hole. Insert the fitting axle and the front-wheel assembly into the supporting main body, when the protruding member of snap spring bounces out, the fixing of front-wheel is completed. The connection between the button and the snap spring is flexible. When taking down, press the button to compress the protruding member of snap spring, and then the front-wheel assembly can be taken down conveniently. In this way, the space could be further decreased for storing and transporting.
[0017]One end of said rear wheel assembly is insert in the main support frame and is fixed by a bolt and a bolt button matched with each other, or a pair of block perforations is set symmetrically on the main support frame, and elasticity members which can be embed in said block perforation are set on said rear wheel assembly. So the rear wheel assembly could be taken down rapidly, it is easy for storing and transporting.
[0018]The improvements of the rollator are that: the structure is simple, it is easy to be folded and the folded volume is small, it stands stably and is convenient for storing and transporting, the height of it is adjustable to meet the requirements of different users; the components of it are easy to be processed, the cost is low, meanwhile the components are fit by socketed way and jointed together elastically by blocked way, it is unnecessary to use special tool to dismount it, so it is suitable for customers to use.

Problems solved by technology

Most of rollator according to existing art is adopted entad revolving type or lengthways folded type when closing it, it will take much space and the volume is too big for transporting.
Moreover, the center of gravity of the rollator is not stable after folded, the manufacture cost of which is also very high.
The objection of the utility model is to provide a magic rollator which has simple structure, small volume after folded, stands stably and is easy to be manufactured.

Embodiment Construction

[0057]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a magic rollator, including: a main support frame 3, which has two bushings 4 each set on the right and left side of said main support frame 3 respectively; two supporting pipes 2, each inserts in one of the bushings 4 of the main support frame 3; two P-shaped armrests 1, each connects with one of the supporting pipes 2; two pairs of front-wheel assembly 14 and rear wheel assembly 22, each pair of front-wheel assembly and rear wheel assembly is connected with the main support frame 3; and a seat component 9 comprising a seat body and a folding mechanism, said seat component 9 can be folded in the middle and is set between the left side and right side of main support frame 3. The seat body may be made of canvas or other soft materials; a lift handle 28 is set in the middle, alternatively, it may also be made of firm material such as two pieces of plastic plate. A backrest 26 made of soft materials is mounted on the O form part of P-shaped armrest 1. ...

Abstract

The present utility model disclosed a main support frame, which has two bushings each set on the right and left side of said main support frame respectively; two supporting pipes, each inserted in one of the bushings of the main support frame; two P-shaped armrests, each connects with one of the supporting pipes; two pairs of front-wheel assembly and rear wheel assembly, each pair of front-wheel assembly and rear wheel assembly is connected with the main support frame; and a seat component comprising a seat body and a folding mechanism, said seat component can be folded in the middle and is set between the left side and right side of main support frame. Said folding mechanism consists of a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe, which hinge joint with each other in the middle, one end of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe hinge joint with the left side and right side of the main support frame respectively, the other end connect with the two ends of said seat body respectively. The improvements of the magic rollator are that: the structure is simple, it is easy to be folded and the folded volume of it is small, it stands stably and is convenient for storing and transporting, the height of it is adjustable to meet the requirements of different users; the components of it are easy to be processed, the cost is low, meanwhile the components are assembled by bushing parts and jointed together by elastic blocking joints, it is unnecessary to use special tool to mount or dismount it, so it is suitable for customers to use.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present utility model relates to a rollator.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A rollator is made for the persons who have functional disorder in their lower limbs and who can not use crutches or canes. The main function of the rollator is to support people's weight and keep the body's balance, so as to help the users stand and walk. The rollator is classified into fixing-type and folding-type. For the convenience for the users to rest thereon, an integrated seat component is usually set in the rollator. Most of rollator according to existing art is adopted entad revolving type or lengthways folded type when closing it, it will take much space and the volume is too big for transporting. Moreover, the center of gravity of the rollator is not stable after folded, the manufacture cost of which is also very high.SUMMARY[0003]The objection of the utility model is to provide a magic rollator which has simple structure, small volume after folded, stands stably and is easy to be m...
